School Finance Bill Passes in Colorado
Colorado lawmakers have passed a major education measure this month that includes revenue equalization for high-needs districts based on their share of low-income students and English-language learners. The legislation, approved this month, also mandates funding for full-day kindergarten and half-day preschool and seeks dramatic improvement in school attendance.
To pay for the plan, Colorado voters will have to approve a $1 billion tax hike in November.
Gov. John Hickenlooper, a Democrat, was expected to sign the bill.
